One genre of music that I feel is hugely underrated and underdeveloped is jazz/rock. It seems that rarely will I find a good jazz/rock combination band, despite the fact that the two styles of music compliment each other so well. The Reign of Kindo is a band that stands …

Of all of the lesser known metal bands that I follow, if there was one of them that I can’t understand their lack of wider success it would have to be HIBRIA. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like they are totally unknown, and in fact their homeland of …

I really enjoyed listening to the new single from Tom Petty. I remember seeing Tom Petty steal the show from Bob Dylan when they toured together back in the 80s. Petty and his band made me sit up and take notice, while Bob Dylan, clad in red pedal pushers …

The Buffet E11 Clarinet- The standard-issue clarinet that schools give out (if they can afford better than a Yamaha or Jupiter).
